IIS question [modified] SOLVED
-
I have a windows 2003 box that runs IIS 6, a simple website built in asp - yes ASP *NOT* asp.net. I have no need or desire to rewrite it in asp.net (just to get this out of the way early on). Today I applied windows updates to it and added .Net 3.5 SP1. Rebooted. Now the friggin web server won't let you download .exe's any more, which is a bit of a sticky wicket since this is what we use to get updates for our internal software. I've tried checking the MIME-settings - they seem OK, there's a bunch of definitions in the top level "local computer" node in the MMC UI for IIS. The directory settings for the relevant parts seem to be - namely they are set to read only, directory browsing, and the Execute permissions are set to "None". But when I try and request the file via a browser, I get error 404, sub part 0, win error code 2, file not found. I've tried rebooting the machine, un-installing .Net 3/3.5, allowing/disallowing ASP.NET in the web service extensions, none of which make any difference and I'm out of ideas at this point. Any suggestions? Note that sacrificing a virgin on a full moon isn't possible here in NYC due to the extreme difficulty in tracking down virgins. I'll be happy to try just about anything else though! >>the solution<< Rename the directory where all the sub directories with installers were. voila, all working again. WTF!? :omg:

Probably no way to confirm this now on your working system BUT (if anybody else ever has this issue...) was it just screwed permissions on those files / folders?

That's what I thought originally. I tried all sorts of things, and as far as I can tell, the permissions were OK.
